The Velvet Underground — Heroin live version 1

[Verse 1] I don't know where I'm going And I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein Then I tell you things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son [Chorus] And I guess I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know [Verse 2] Now I have made a very big decision And I'm gonna try to nullify my life Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death You can't help me, not you guys Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk [Chorus] And I guess I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know [Verse 3] I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that I'd put on a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man cannot be free Of all the evils of this town And of himself and those around [Chorus] Oh, and I guess that I just don't know Oh, and I guess that I just don't know [Verse 4] Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, you know that it's my wife and it's my life Because a mainline into my vein Leads to a center in my head And then I'm better off than dead Because when the smack begins to flow Oh I really don't care anymore About all the Jim-Jims in this town And everybody putting everybody else down And all the politicians making crazy sounds And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds Cause when the smack begins to flow And I really don't care anymore Ah, while that heroin is in my blood And that blood is in my head Oh, thank God that I'm as good as dead Thank God that I'm not aware Thank God that I just don't care [Chorus] And I guess I just don't know And I guess I just don't know
